Dear Friend,

Henry “Duke” Boswell had one of the most dangerous jobs in the army during World
War II: he was a paratrooper.

Duke enlisted at age 16 and became a paratrooper in 1942. He carried out four
combat jumps—in Sicily, Italy, Normandy and Holland. When he made his first
jump, in Sicily, his company had 146 men. By the time he made his final jump in
Germany two years later, just 13 remained. The rest had either been killed or
wounded so badly that they couldn’t return to action.

“Your plane might get hit before you get there. You might be killed as soon as
you hit the ground,” Duke said. “You had seen many of your friends wounded or
killed… You just lived from day to day. And you didn’t think about it very
much.”

Friend, the American Air Museum in Britain is able to
safeguard the legacy of heroes like Duke Boswell and countless other Americans
who took to the skies in defense of freedom thanks to the generous support of
our members.

To sustain our vital educational and memorial mission this year, the American
Air Museum is kicking off our Membership Month today. And a generous member is
offering to MATCH all Membership Month gifts, dollar-for-dollar, up to our
$5,000 goal!

Become a member of the American Air Museum today and your generous Membership
Month gift will go twice as far to help us honor the valiant American airmen and
women who have kept the torch of liberty burning brightly.

[[link removed]] you will help us preserve and share stories like Duke Boswell’s and those of
other brave men and women who put their lives on the line during D-Day and in
conflicts past and present.

Your Membership Month gift will also help our museum welcome hundreds of
thousands of visitors, preserve the 19 rare aircraft on display, and create new
exhibitions and educational programs that introduce audiences around the world
to the heroic exploits of the Americans who’ve flown from Britain since World
War I.

We owe these men and women a debt we can never repay. But through your support
of the American Air Museum in Britain, you will help ensure that their service
and sacrifice is never forgotten.

Please join the museum with a special Membership Month gift before the deadline
of June 30 so that it can have double the impact to help us give generations of
American airmen the recognition and respect they deserve.
